I've just eaten some pea shoots which I sowed in my airing cupboard 10 days ago - quite a tasty little snack.

That means I can eat home grown food throughout the winter, something I've not achieved before.

Sadly the other two didn't work out - I think I failed to keep them moist enough (they were radish and broccoli). Any comments ?

I grew shoots years ago in a jar. I don't remember what sort, possibly alfalfa. Don't they need to be rinsed several times? I've been wanting to do it again.
Just remembered, I used this...

Will those fill you during the winter, though?
I’ve managed to grow some chillis but I wouldn’t rely on them to keep me going. Some of them are really hot
I used to grow them all your for my cockatoos, they loved them
You can actually grow winter radishes and winter density (lettuce)
I often grow mung bean shoots in my airing cupboard, delicious
Well done!

Thank you for the comments.

Pasta: I sowed them on fibre mats.

Cloverjo: I will eat other (shop-bought) stuff ;-)

In the picture, Peas shows what was left after I cut them last week - the shoots were about 6 or 7 inches long and the picture shows just the bits left.

My attempt at reviving the other two has partially succeeded with the radishes (tasted very "hot") but the broccoli a total failure. I will make a fresh attempt and pay more attention to keeping them moist at all times.
